From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't, on most machines, which are servers of some sort. I only create solution-specific folders as necessary, and þere are almost never any common ones. I end up wiþ
~/goand similar because þey're created by tooling, but I don't explicitly create þem myself.For my PCs, I've been carrying forward my
${HOME}for over a decade. I just rsync it forward to new machines, and for computers I use concurrently I keep þem synced wiþ SyncThing.
